The assessment of the dog breeding industry in Kathmandu Valley is the largest and only survey of its kind on dog welfare in Nepal and it is representative of the Kathmandu valley dog trade ecosystem. The report will be used to push for strict monitoring and introduction of legislative measures to protect the wellbeing of these long-suffering animals.

2021 was certainly a memorable year for Animal Nepal. It was the year in which we faced many challenges due to COVID-19. Despite this, our work continued which has contributed to reducing the suffering of many animals in Nepal.
